Brand new hostel and it is kept very bright and clean. Warm reception by Daniele. Excellent location with a more local neighborhood feel while still within walking distance to the Grand Palace and temples. For me the neighborhood was peaceful. You can walk everywhere and Daniele can explain how to take a boat down the Klong (canal) to the BTS Sky train if you want a day to shop in the giant malls along Sukhumvit. A plus for me is that there are no skyrise buildings around. Everything is very much on a human scale in the neighborhood. Perfect place to practice your Italian with Daniele, too! Also, check out all the Buddhist statue shops on Bamrung Meung Road and the morning market where you can offer alms to the mendicant monks in the morning. I'm very happy with my stay at Daniele's place!
